TO ALL' WHOM IT MAY OONCERN:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN C. TAYLOR, of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery, in the State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Mode of Fastening Rake-Teeth in the Construction of Horse-Rakes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accom. panying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in a peculiar forrn of bracket fastening for the rake-teeth.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention,Iwill proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Reference is made to the annexed drawings marked B, and like letters of reference occurring on the diii'erent igures refer to like parts.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the fastening and its connection to the bar.

FigureQ represents a transverse section of the same.

A represents the bar to which the fastening is attached, and Bfthe bracket; fastening; C the tooth, having an eye formed by turning upwards, and D the plate, which is enclosed within the anged part and the plane surface beneath, and on the inner surface of this' plate is a boss, with an orifice through it for the bolt u, which, when the bolt is tightened, rests against theinner surface of the fastening. `The transverse section, fig. 2, shows the relation of the several parts distinctly. Y l

Having thus fully described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

I claim the bracket fastening B', constructed with one ear and a ange or housing extending from said ear iu front and over the eye of the tooth, in combination with the Washer D', substantially as and for the purpose described.

BENJAMIN C. TAYLOR.
